Young Sheldon cast reflects on child labor challenges in new oral history
The cast of 'Young Sheldon' has opened up about the psychological toll of working as child actors in a new oral history book. Iain Armitage, who starred as the title character from age eight, described the experience as a 'big undertaking' but expressed gratitude for the grace shown by his co-stars. Annie Potts, who played Meemaw, acknowledged that Armitage could be 'difficult' but emphasized that the pressure of carrying the show was immense for a child. The book, 'Young Sheldon: The (Juicier-Than-Meemaw’s-Brisket) Inside Story of the Hit Comedy,' is set to release on October 20.
